Ro coin hoard found 1802. Shown at exhibition of Thoroton Soc by Mr WH Mason. (1)
In 1802 91 Ro coins, 62 copper and 29 silver, (54-180 AD) were found about 200yds to the S of Morton Hall. A stone set up on the spot to mark this is indicated on OS maps. (2)
An inscribed stone marks the spot. Inscription gives above info. Morton Hall has been demolished and the present location of the coins was not confirmed though they are thought, by the estate agent, to be still held by the Mason family. (3)
